Description
Stereo microscope KERN OSF 438 is a practical, robust instrument designed for schools, training centres, workshops and laboratories. An integrated carrying handle and a stable mechanical stand support secure everyday use in teaching and workshop environments. Standard LED incident and transmitted illumination provides continuously dimmable, well-balanced lighting of the specimen. Strong optical performance is paired with an ergonomically shaped working area for comfortable handling in this class. A changeable objective with predefined magnifications enables fast, efficient work, while the eyepieces are fixed in the tube to protect them against loss or damage. The ergonomic form and stable, precisely adjustable mechanics deliver high functionality and allow quick operation with only a few steps. From manufacturer Kern, a wide range of eyepieces and additional external illumination units is available as accessories. A dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual operating manual are included. Typical application areas include education, in-vitro fertilisation, parasite detection, zoology and botany, tissue preparation, sectioning and quality control. Suitable samples are preparations where spatial impression (depth, thickness) matters, for example insects, seeds, circuit boards and components.
This article is part of Stereo microscopes, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Stereomicroscope KERN OSF 438
What is this article?
Stereomicroscope KERN OSF 438 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Stereo microscopes, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A stereo microscope gives a low-magnification, upright, three-dimensional view for dissecting, for sorting and for inspecting a surface. It is not the instrument for a stained section at high power. Working distance and zoom range are the choices.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
